Rant regrading "Shotty"

blackthorne said:

I'm about to go postal whenever someone says "shotty" or "shottie". What's up with that? It comes accross as a bit goofy. I don't see folks say Rify or Pisty or Revolvy. What's with "Shotty"?

Additionally.... bearing in mind that I enjoy helping new shooters with shotgun sports and sorting out various shotgun related questions.... it drives me nuts when I ask what the intended shotgun will be used for. I'm thinking Trap, Skeet, Sporting, Upland, Deer, Waterfowl and even the all popular HD gun as I think I have pretty good answers for the best fit in these catagories. So I ask "what will you use it for" and I get dumb ass answers like "For blowing stuff up" or "For Zombies, Dude".

One more.... someone posts a pic of his new $199 toy that has a bbl that looks like a water pipe, a stock that looks like Southern Yellow Pine, it probably shoots a foot low and two feet to the left at ten yards and everyone has followup posts that say "Sweet"! My God, some of us have choke tubes that cost $199, trigger groups that go for two grand, stocks that cost three grand, extra bbls at four grand, etc etc etc.

This rant "is" all in fun, but for God's sake, call the frigg'n thing a shotgun (and stop posting pictures of POS Mexican Mossbergs with, ammo saddles, flashlights, folding stocks, ghost ring sights, laser stuff, slings and other useless crapola).

Thanks for the rant, but you guys are killing me This generation gap thing is getting very strange indeed.

I gotta say this. You have some nerve being a relative new guy around here coming around making comments that make you sound like an elitist jackass. Just because some of us don't have a sh*tload of money to throw around doesn't make us idiots.

Why don't you get to know us before insulting our guns. When you do that, you insult us.

I don't give a f*ck about your $200 choke tubes or $1000+ trigger groups. When you talk crap about other peoples choices and then gloat about yours, you come across as a *******.

Lighten up and have some fun here.

Damn Man, If I didn't know better I'd swear you were the identical twin of a former member here. He used to put down everyone stuff if it wasn't Kreigoff, Beretta, Guerini, etc.
Don't get your panties in a twist. Just because someone isn't following in your footsteps doesn't make them wrong. To each their own.
If you can't bust 25 birds at Skeet with a Mossberg then you're not gonna with a gun that has a $2000 trigger group either.

Look in the mirrow Blackthorne, you're a Mall Ninja.
